Why do we procrastinate?
- Maybe because it’s tiring just thinking about it
- Maybe because we are afraid of what others will think
- Maybe because we don’t have the perfect words or vision
Listen here – there will never be a “perfect” time or a “perfect” way. We all have to start somewhere. If we never start, we never take a shot at something potentially really great on the horizon. The more I stayed stuck in the same place, the harder it seemed to get started! When I started realizing I was wasting precious time being complacent, things started to shift.
To get unstuck, you just have to get out of your own way.
I’ve planned to start a blog for years now but continuously said that I would get around to it one day. I finally got tired of hearing myself procrastinate about the same things time and time again. And guess what, it wasn’t hard and the process is rewarding after all! I challenge you to make a promise to yourself today. What is the thing you have been wanting to do – something you continue to push aside but can’t shake out of your mind? Do it now, not later and you too can overcome the crippling cycle of procrastination.
In running, have you wondered why it’s so much harder to start back up after taking a break? Getting started is the hardest part! This is why we train ourselves to keep pushing forward. Once you have the momentum behind you, it’s more than possible to keep going!
Just keep pressing one foot in front of the other! You can and will get to your finish line!
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- START NOW, not tomorrow!
- FAIL FORWARD!
- Don’t waste any more energy pushing off your goals & vision
